SEISMIC WEATHER,

This is earthquake weather. We do
not undertake to charge the weather
with the responsibility of creating earth
Ouakes, still it is well understood fact
in seismic science that the connection
between the atmosphere and the earth
quake, though probably incidental, is an
important one. We know that very hot
and very dry countries are the most sub
ject to earthquakes, and we furthermore
know that it is as hot and dry in these
parts about this time as it ever gets in
Asia Minor, Italy, Japan, California or
other sections where the earthquake is a
frequent diSturber of the peace and
safety of the inhabitants. 1t is not at all
unlikely that the intense heat and ac-
cOmpanying dryneSs at this time are
prophetic of internal disorders in this
old earth Of ours which may at any time
develop into an aguiSh spell. 1t is not
probable that this immediate section
will experience any great disturbance.
The central Mississippi valley is the
part most apt to be shaken up, and
shouldn't be surprise if the people of
St. Louis and Kansas City are routed out
of their beds any night by the Swaying
motion of their house walls. The shock
will probably not be disastrous one
lust severe enough to awaken the sin
full population of those two prosperous
Western towns to a sense of repentance.
St. Paul daily globe., 1887-08-09
FAIRCHILD'S VIEWS.

Secretary of the Treasury FAIRCHILD
is practical man, and he possesses
some very practical ideas on the sub
ject of civil service reform. He has no
sympathy whatever with the senti-
mental nonsense of which GEORGE
WILLIAM CURTIS, prince of the Mug
wumpS, is such prominent exponent,
but does believe in practical reform.
He thinks that every office which may
be regarded as position of power,
whose holder has to do with the policy
of the administration and the possession
of which involves the possibility of aid
ing or embarrassing the administra-
tion's work should be held by member
of the dominant party. The minor
offices, those which require the per-
formance of simple routine work and
which, while necessary, possess no vital
Importance, he thinks might well be
brought under the control of civil serv-
ice rules, because in making the appoint
mentS to them the disatfection sure to
spring up among the disappointed
candidates and their friends is almost
certain TO overcome any political advan-
tage secured by the appointment.
There is doubtless great deal of
truth in the latter conclusion, and though
some natural disappointment would
